City Carton Recycling is Iowa’s largest full service paper Recycling Company, with seven locations, and one of the largest full-service recycling companies in the Midwest.
Rigorous production schedules require powerful balers.
IPS is right on target.
“The IPS 2-Ram Baler does a great job on plastics,” relays John Okenfels, president of City Carton Recycling. “Plastics tend to push up and out of the baling chamber because they spring back, but the IPS precompression RAM™ goes to work before the material begins to move forward so everything goes into chamber on every stroke.”
And right on the money.
“The unique design of the precompression ram causes the machine to rarely cut at the shear resulting in less stress,” he continues. “Reducing shock and the subsequent jolt is a great benefit to an operation of our size. We have gone 23,000 hours on our first IPS Baler and 24,000 hours on another without stopping production to reline the balers. An average baler requires relining in half that amount of time. We won’t settle for average.”
